Application Client can't find version.properties

[guntherv]

When I run a Java Application I get a java.lang.RuntimeException when I request a connection instance on the factory.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: version.properties is not available
 at org.jboss.messaging.utils.VersionLoader.getVersion(VersionLoader.java:65)
 at org.jboss.messaging.jms.client.JBossConnection.<init>(JBossConnection.java:147)
 at org.jboss.messaging.jms.client.JBossConnectionFactory.createConnectionInternal(JBossConnectionFactory.java:514)
 at org.jboss.messaging.jms.client.JBossConnectionFactory.createConnection(JBossConnectionFactory.java:115)
...

Apparently the org.jboss.messaging.utils.VersionLoader class (jbm-core.jar) tries to resolve the file version.properties on the classpath.
The jbm-core.jar contains this file, but adding it to the classpath doesn't resolve the issue.
Anybody any idea why this is happening ?

Apparently this is already logged at JIRA: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-1616

Is there a workaround for this issue?

Thank you

can you make sure that the jbm-core.jar is the first thing in your classpath

Andy,
That was the first thing I tried after I read the Jira entry. jbm-core.jar is at top of Eclipse project classpath. Unfortunately the issue remains.

Gunther-

Can you create a self contained program which replicates this issue, file a JIRA and attach it?

Thanks

While creating and executing the test client from the command line everything worked fine. After pointing the Eclipse Run configuration to the same JDK used in CLI mode it also worked in eclipse. In Eclipse I was using IBM JDK 1.5.

thank you all for your efforts.
